Each software application needs specific steps to extract and prepare the data for conversion. Vaquitec can import data from most software databases. Please contact Agritec for further information and format specifications or see the following topics. Once you have the prepared the data, you must upload to our server at http://agritecsoft.com/ags  to convert your former database to the Agritec format.
